2591. Narrated Asmā' رضي الله عنها: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Give (in charity) and do not withhold your wealth by counting and hoarding it, being afraid that it may be exhausted (by spending in Allāh's Cause) lest Allāh should withhold His Blessings from you; and do not withhold your money lest Allāh should withhold it from you."

Arabic text

2591 - حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «أَنْفِقِي، وَلاَ تُحْصِي، فَيُحْصِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ، وَلاَ تُوعِي، فَيُوعِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ»
